The Only Formallty Is the Return of the Bride’s Dowry. Divorce in Turkey is obtained with a transatlantic cousins. As easily as Abraham cast forth Hagar, the bond- woman, and her child, so also can the Turk open the door of his harem and send out into the world the woman who no longer pleases him. He has but to give her back her dower and personal effects. In the upper classes, however, certain legal formalities are gone through, and indeed, as the lady is usually protected by her parents, di- vorce is, comparatively speaking, rare. There are instances, however, in Con- stantinople of ladies in the highest of- ficial circles who are not yet very far advanced in years, who have been di- vorced twice, thrice, and even ten times. Among the lower orders divorce may be described as a farce. Many girls who are not yet 20 years of age have been divorced and remarried a dozen times. The surprises of divorces are among the most amusing features of Turkish social life. A very great personage, second only to the sultan in rank, un— less, indeed, it be the Sheik U1 Islam, married some few years ago, when his position was very inferior to what it is at present, a highly educated lady, of good connection and fortune, but, ac- cording to his cxcellcncy‘s version of the story, of ungovernable temper. Within the year they were divorced and remarried. The lady soon found her new husband disagreeable, and was once more divorced. It must be remembered that if a Turk can divorce his wife, she can only divorce him at his pleasure by making herself as un- pleasant to him as possible. In former times he tied her up in a sack and had her dropped into the Bosphorus. To- day he divorces her. To return to the lady in question. The next time she was heard of by her friends was as a teacher in the Moham- medan high school for girls at Scutari. A few years back she was selected as governess for the children of the khediva, and is now her highness’ pri- vate secretary, in which quality she ac- companied her imperial mistress to Constantinople last year and actually found herself seated at a state ban- quet at Yildiz Kiosk next to the third wife of her first husbnd, who quietly asked her who she was. Tableau! The ease with which divorce can be ob- tained in Turkey leads to many abuses and creates a state. of affairs not un- like our prostitution.——-Fortnight1y Be- view. —His Hindsight—“Why does Slim- son carry that notebook about with him so ostentatiously?” “To jot down the brilliant things he might have said and didn’t when he had the Oppor- tunity.”—Detroit Free Press. ‘ “The kind 8088 makes his Biscuits with."

I’m more afraid of them than I am of a snake, and you can imagine my chagrin when I happened to hook one on one of my fishing expeditions. I was afraid to touch it, and all I could do was to let it dangle in the air. I could not get it off my hook, and I was meditating what to do, when altogether unnoticed I allowed the slimy object to drop down into the water. In a moment I saw a big water snake make a dive for it. At the first lunge it caught the neck of the eel squarely between its teeth and I could see it sink its ugly-looking fangs into the eel’s flesh. I waited anxiously to see the developments. With its grim hold still on the eel’s neck the snake, quick as it takes to tell it, wrapped its sinuous body around its antagonist’s neck in an effort to squeeze it to death. The body of the eel was too sleek, how- ever, and the snake’s coils, despite all it could do, would slip down into the water. Time and time again it tried to squeeze the life out of its antagonist, never for an instant releasing its hold on the ecl’s neck, but the body of the latter was too sleek for it, and every time it would slip down. Finally the hook broke, and the eel made good its escape.” ENTANGLED IN HIS OVERCOAT. Unfortunate Predicament of a Very Fat lllan at the Theater. He was such a very fat man that the entire audience turned around to look at him when he came into the theater in the middle of the first act and took his seal in an orchestra chair. He wore his last year’s fall overcoat, says the Philadelphia Record, which was tight for him. He had evidently taken on flesh during the year. He paid no at- tention to the interest his neighbors evinced in him, but sat down and at once became absorbed in the play. He grew warm, and with his eyes still glued to the stage, he arose and shed his overcoat. The people around him began to titter, and finally to laugh very audibly. The fat man realized at length that the people wcrc laughing at him. Then he noticed, with great con- fusion, that ho was in his shirtslceves. His sack coat had come off with the other. He put them both on again and tried to peel off the overcoat, bnt it wouldn‘t. move a little bit. He gave a desperate tug and wriggled his fat shoulders, and the next moment he was in his shirtsleeves again. “Get out!’ “Sit down!” “Rip it off!” cried the people behind him, but the fat man tried again, an-l with the assistance of two men in 'the seats behind him he finally managed to shed his overcoat. BENDING OF wooos. An Art Extensively Used In Carriage and Boat Building. Comparatively few persons outside the carriage and boat-building indus- try are aware of the extent of the wood- bending industry, and but few realize that the carriages they ride in are very largely made of such wood—the fellocs of all their wheels are bent and made in two parts—the framework of coaches and heavy carriages is nearly all maple of bent stock, and not only better made, but more cheaply—and the frames of pleasure boats are bent, as also many of the frames of the finest sailing yachts; furniture, too, of many kinds has bent frames, all the celebrated Thonet chairs, for example, being made entirely of wood thus treated. The ob- ject of bending is twofold, says‘ the Woodworker, namely, saving of time and stock and stability and strength of the work when put together—this inde- pendent of beauty of form; and bent carriage shafts are almost, if not en- tirely, used now, instead of the old- style, clumsy, sawed ones. Skill in manipulating the material is very es- sential; simply the forms to bend on, and the steam box in which to soften the wood do not alone insure success in the operation—it is necessary to know perfectly the stock to bend, it being so variable that no two pieces bend alike. Petroleum in Russia. A peculiar fact in respect to petro- leum is the difference of conditions un- der which that oil occurs in Russia and America. In the former it is found in strata of the tertiary period, usually a formation resembling a quicksand, and at depths of only a few hundred feet. 1 In our own country it occurs at great depths in the older compact sandstones and limestones. American oil yields a very large proportion, say about 70 per cent., of illuminating oil exactly suited for combustion in our ordinary lamps; the Russian oil produces far less of such oil and a larger pr0portion of high-class lubricating oil. The Rus- sian illuminating oil also requires tobe burned in a modified form of lamp with a more perfect draughtjn order to over- come its tendency to produce a smoky flame, and it is largely this fact which has prevented the consumption of Rus- sian oil for light abroad.

' HOWARD’S FlRpST CLIENT. He Came on_Mighty Particular Business, But It Was Not a. Divorce When Representative M. W. Howard, the populist member from Alabama, first hung out his shingle as a lawyer he was 19 years of age. His patience was nearly exhausted by days spent in vain waiting for his first client to come. when one day he heard a knock at the door. On calling “Come in!” a darky, known as Sam, stepped into the little office. “What can I do for you?” the lawyer asked, as visions of his first fee came to him. “ ’Scuse me, sah,” said Sam, “but 'deed I wants to see you on partiklcr busi- ness.” Mr. Howard, thinking that the man most likely wanted a divorce, said: “Sit down and explain everything care- fully.” “ ’Deed, sah,‘ I would like to close dc dore, fo’ de bizness am mighty pertik- ler,” said Sam. After having closed the door he took the proffered chair. Then he. explained: “Sah, I has got a gurl in Georgah dat I wants you to write a letter to fo’ me." , “Do you love her?” askedthe lawyer." “Do you want to marry her? Does she love you ?” and many questions of a like nature. To all these questions Sam replied: “Suttingly.” The replies being satisfactory, be pro- ceeded to write the letter. After having finished it he read it to Sam to see whether it agreed with his ideas. “ ’Scuse me, boss,” said Sam, scratch- Ing his woolly head; “ ’scuse me if I offer a. sugghestan; I would like to put something‘else in dar also; something like dis: De roses am red, And de vylets bloo; De pinks am preaty, And so is you. And having put it in, Howard asked if that was all.
